Several houses were shattered. A deserter reports that the enemy's loss was heavy, and that they expected an easy capture. [later.] We learn from Vicksburg that the enemy is slowly bombarding the town from the mortar boats to- day. The telegraph office has been smashed. Gentlemen from New Orleans say that Butler has issued orders laying a tax of $200,000 on the city. Jackson, June 30.--The Yazoo correspondent of the Mississippian, writing under date of the 16th instant, says that two of the enemy's gunboats were reconnoitering in Yazoo river, when Com. Pickney burned the Confederate gunboats Van-Dorn, Polk, and Livingston. This action is considered unnecessary and is much deplored here. The loss of property is heavy. Gen. Van-Dorn has issued an address to the army, declaring that Vicksburg should be defended to the death. The Federal can never occupy Vicksburg. The fleet appears to be too much crippled to engage in a successful tilt with our batteries.
